Let Us Laugh and Be of Good Cheer

I stole this from the girls at Hot Air. Here is an instructional video on the appropriate way to watch a Keith Olbermann SuperDuperSpecial Comment. I recommend that you watch this in its entirety.

Well done Beck.

This has been a great week for conservatives. Laughing at all these fucking douchebags…from the ridiculous idiotic liars at MSNBC to the deranged groupthink dolts from the JouroList…it’s been fucking comedy gold this week.

I wonder which they will hate more…being pointed at and laughed at because they’re a collective joke or getting their tiny loser balls handed to them in November. Poor babies. Hahahaha.

This was on Maetenloch’s always excellent ONT last night. This guy had sex with Christie Brinkley…

Howsabout a movie thread? I saw Inception yesterday with my son (14). 10 out of 10 rubber fists! Loved it, will see it again in teh theater (and I’m a huge tightwad). It reminded me of the first time you saw “The Matrix”. The effects aren’t as cool or groundbreaking, it was just a really cool sci-fi concept implemented really well. Anyone else seen it?

i like how the lady’s name is pronounced shirod just like how the brits pronounce charade because that’s what this

which pretty much sums up the dept of ag, the obama administartion, the richard dreyface comparison, etc…

did anyone know that Obama’s 2nd book was named after a sermon given by Jeremiah Wright? Funding was just approved for a ship to challenge the Israeli blockade… the name of the ship you ask?
Audacity of Hope

they are blaming Fox and Andrew as a pawn move to set up their push to control the media. Sherod was fired before 5pm est and Fox never even aired a report on it till like 8:45pm that night. not even close to shnuckering anyone

Hi, Roamy. Mrs. Clintbird is going to Murfreesboro by herself now. Seems she decided to take the extra trip her dad wanted to do so I decided to stay home to take care of the homestead/dogs because the trip is now much longer than the original plan.

My great niece is coming for a surprise overnight visit tonight. Hooray! She’s VERY funny, and in fact, I’m pretty sure she’ll be a successful stand up comic one day. The way she acts reminds me alot of PJM. Say PJM, you didn’t accidentially hatch a child in central Kentucky and forget where you put it, did you? Well, DID YOU?

yeah I was thinking about the book, I clicked through and checked out the website though
I didn’t post about the ship previously knowing about the theory, I just think the whole thing is not coincidental and we should be keeping our eye it

Years ago I knew a girl who was making ceramic and paper jewelry. She somehow got her jewelry onto a model that was on the cover of Vogue or something similar. Her business just exploded, had sales people working all 50 states and eventually someone came in and bought it all.

“I swore off of pain meds after that. Pain is there for a reason, it keeps you from doing stupid things.”

Ha HA! That’s a good one.

The great Uniball drug fog ride will start in fifteen minutes.

My only concern is one section of the ride is way technical, like expert switchbacks with rutted out drainage problems and jagged rocks facing against the grain.

I am taking this route because it is faster, I need to get home to watch that art show on Bravo that my wife and I are following. It’s fucking fantastic in the worst way possible. Douche bag artists competing against each other, one guy painted a clown face on a board. Same guy got kicked off last week and had a fit calling the other artists names like “Art dweeb” and “art pussy”. It was fantastic, we were cracking up.

I still haven’t seen the pics of Steve the weirdo at the picnic and I had to sit next to him. Oh gosh that guy smelled like ass and when Cuffy’s wife was letting us use her suntan lotion and she looked at him and (we still didn’t know he wasn’t with our group) she says um do you need some. he says ” don’t mind if I do” he proceeds to lather up his face from a 2 inch tube of 70 proof ladies sunblock and takes off toward the pavillion looking like he just sucked a cock with thick white “cream” all over his face. PJM starts walking over thinking we had picked up a down syndrome guy who was drooling. Seriously when we added up all the facts we just about peed our pants laughing so hard.

I swear, Peej, this better be worth it, or I’m putting in a prayer that you have six more kids at Mass on Sunday. I mean that’s what I’ll pray on Sunday – not that you’ll deliver six babies this Sunday in church. Whatever. Expectations are high!

The little one loves it. She helps in the garden, we go for bike rides all the time, our best friend and her favorite “uncle” is around every day to hang out. She told me today that she’s glad we left Louisiana because she loved the garden. Super thrilled.

Romy,
‘.. 5 lbs of C4 per foot’ reminds me of a night back in the ’60s, driving down Columbia Blvd in Portland, OR when I threw a block of C4 with a cap and 30-second fuse into the ditch on the opposite side of the road (so I could watch the flash in the mirror & hear the BOOM ), and a few seconds later there is a car coming the other direction. It’s a Multnomah County Deputy. Oh Oh!
BOOM!
I figure he was really close when that went off. Did a lot of directional changes and made it home without getting arrested!
YEA Me!
I did lots of stupid shit as a kid. I don’t think anyone got hurt, though.
My folks HATED it when the FBI showed-up at the door looking for me.
Lightweights!
My brother only ever got the city-cops. I got the FEDS!

I’m watching the Dodger pregame show, and they’re doing a story on Manny Ramirez auctioning off his rare Porsche for charity, and while that’s cool, it pissed me off that he was speaking through an interpreter. He grew up in fucking NYC!!!

xbrad – the daughter and I are usually bargain shoppers. The kid can wear most anything and look terrific. She is willowy. And I was so happy to see pretty feminine tops for her with sweetheart necklines, resembling pretty ballet stuffs – the top parts. Subdued pinks with faux pearls….lacy baby dolls. She even wanted a dress. This will be teh first time since early grade school that she wants to wear a dress to school, accessorized with Converse, of course.
Her birthday is coming, so I figured, why not? She’s a good kid.

My youngest was asking me to make chicken sammiches tonight instead of the fried; fortunately he still ate it (he’s so picky!). I do my chicken sammiches with the Progresso Italian Bread Crumbs. OMG. You cannot screw it up.

Hmmm…she won’t be getting hickeys. She doesn’t have a boyfriend, for one and she is rather modest, for two. She would be mortified getting a hickey, mostly because we’d give her trouble.

She’s a lot like us. Mr. Beasn gave me a hickey once, as a teen, and it was done as a joke. I was scared to death my dad would see it. Not only would him knowing and thinking the worst would embarrass the hell out of me, but he probably would have knocked me upside the head.

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin’ away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
“we’ll meet again someday on the
avenue,”
Tangled up in blue.

Have I mentioned how heartily I’m enjoying this whole Sherrod thing? The Obama Administration looks incredibly incompetent, and keeps shooting itself in the foot, and now Sherrod herself is jumping in front of live cameras and showing herself to be the racist she claimed she wasn’t.

HEY, so I took my boy to the soccer thing – the kids are good. He said it’s a whole new game from what he’s used to but he’s excited. It was mostly the varsity team playing, and the coach would throw in the freshman to see how they did.

PTL they’re going to most likely have a JV team this year. Last year they didn’t have enough kids.

Last soccer comment (until i do it again) – some of the kids are the awkward/ geeky type that peps accuse of filling the ranks of soccer. But there were some kids that looks like football players- not the big linemen, but definitely not scrawny pencil-necked geeks. Someone said that a lot of guys that do wrestling, do soccer for the conditioning.

Ok, so my one kid’s cat (“Jennifer” is my daughter Erin’s cat because the cat is possessive of her, follows her around, etc) caught a vole this morning. She’s MEOWING outside with the thing in her mouth … proud as a peacock she was. Dang cat ran through an open screen before I could close the door.Ran right down to give it to Erin.

I was over at Facechimp, trying to figure out exactly how I want to say happy anniversary to Mr. RFH and laughing my ass off over my ex-sister-in-law’s status that says, “I try to stay away from drama…”

So had anyone heard of this Dreyfuss before Olbermann starting talking about him? He was acting like it was a given, that everyone knows about it.

I read an article years ago about the basic cultural knowledge that writers assume 90+% of their readers will have, and how the current school systems are failing to pass that along. Case in point – the Jaywalking episode on Independence Day.

Big difference between basic history and pop culture. Mr. RFH makes it a point of pride not knowing who Lindsey Lohan and other assorted “stars” are (don’t blame him one bit). Carin, you may not know Jaywalking, but I’m sure you know who Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and the Roosevelts were and probably even more obscure American history facts like the Teapot Dome scandal and the 3/5ths compromise.

I would think by taking your kids to see Gettysburg, that they will remember the battle and therefore the Civil War with more interest than someone just reading about it in a book. Looking across the field of Pickett’s Charge at the cannons aimed squarely at you and climbing through the brush and trees of Little Round Top makes an impression.

Most history that I learned, I picked up from reading. My folks had huge collection of American Heritage history books and such. And reading those over and over was what kids did instead of playing XBoX back in my day.

My knowledge of L’Affair Dreyfuss comes almost completely from just hearing about it in books that I was reading, and just generally gathering the context over the span of years.

“Businesses always want their taxes lower and always want to live with low regulation,” Geithner said. “There is nothing remarkable, or particularly interesting frankly, that we’re in the midst of another debate, which you hear in almost any administration, with people looking for ways to help affect the outcome on the basic path of regulation and taxes.”

This, after he DISMISSES OUT OF HAND complaints that the admin’s policies are killing the economy. Oh my GOD, what a tool. Outrageous. Simply outrageous.
He can try to peddle this line to my customers who closed their machine shops in the past couple years and have no reason to reopen.

. However, the fact that we were made to read it, and be tested on it, not only on Friday, but also at the end of the semester made it different.
What also made it different was that kids actually failed and had

I disagree. You may have been a better student or the teachers may have used better books (more history, less multicultural BS). Kids today still have end -of -semester tests.

But teacher’s have decided that they can’t let so many kids fail so they make ’em easier or grade on a curve or what not.

Also, learning IS a life-long process if you care about such things. I’m reading A Patriot’s History of the United States right now. Loads of stuff is in there that I was never taught. And I imagine it is far worse today. Stuff is rewritten to push an agenda.

Our public education system throughout the nation is failing. Why are people so apathetic to this?

lso, learning IS a life-long process if you care about such things. I’m reading A Patriot’s History of the United States right now. Loads of stuff is in there that I was never taught.

Me too. Yep.

And I imagine it is far worse today. Stuff is rewritten to push an agenda.
Our public education system throughout the nation is failing. Why are people so apathetic to this?

[Considers for a moment if people want to hear my education rant … oh, fuck it, that’s what the scroll bar is for amiright?]

“Public” education is based on the false premise that everyone needs the same amount of education. A basic one-size-fits all premise (I know there is tracking, but it isn’t ENOUGH of efficient or whatever) has morphed into “our one size fits no one.”

Plenty of folks – there is absolutely no reason they need (or should) attend school through 12th grade. If we did it right, kids would be reading, doing enough math, and having a basic education by the time they finished 8th grade.

I saw you here last night, pro-biotic. I don’t think I know you, but maybe I do; I have to quit cooking in aluminum pans. I’m Jazz. I’m known around here for being fabulously attractive and affable. I live in Michigan, love unemployment benefits, walking in the rain, and sand in my bathing suit. My turn-offs are old people who smell like moth balls and barley soup, road rage, and scabies.

I saw some folks last night knew you, so I know you’re not a stranger. What’s your story?

well I already stopped cooking in aluminum pans; I’m not known around here at all but most would say I’m loud and my laugh borders obnoxious. I live in NY but I claim San Diego, I fit nicely into the category of Susie homemaker with a dark side, I am usually the person everyone comes to for advice and I pretend I don’t know what the hell they should do… JK.. My turn offs are liberals who give health food a bad name and teachers who indoctrinate our youth…

I love pina coladas if I make em from scratch no drink mixes for me! It depends on who I get caught in the rain with because if it is steve the reunion guy and I realize that since water is a universal solvent and as the water hits him and pours off onto the ground it will contaminate everything with the same smell of ass he left in the car then count me out…

Mare’s Musings

February 18, 2018

I’ll tell you, I had to turn the Olympics off last night. The gay overload with the gay flags and gayness and the gay skier and the all about gay was too much for me. How does being gay have ANYTHING to do with skiing unless you’re purposefully landing on a pole?
